The Spacewalk and the Space Shmutz

October 27, 2019

After being scrubbed and re-scheduled from this past March, the first all-female spacewalk took place the morning of Oct. 18, 2019. NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir successfully installed a 232-pound replacement for a faulty battery charge/discharge unit (BCDU) in the lab’s solar power system. It may not sound all that difficult, but it […]

Answering Common Questions Re U.S. Trade with China

October 6, 2019

I haven’t been keeping up on the topic of President Trump’s trade wars. I’m no economist, but I remember enough to know that the imposition of tariffs is generally not a good idea, as it’s the consumer that pays the (higher) price. So, this is one of those areas where I think Trump is making […]

What Sort of Theologian Are You?

September 29, 2019

September 15, 2019

Those who dislike or despise President Trump are fond of blaming his “inflammatory rhetoric” for the violence committed by others, from the local racist jerk to terrorists and psychopaths. In fact, they were seemingly justified in these accusations, thanks to a study conducted by three professors at the University of North Texas and Texas A&M. […]

Meanwhile, Elsewhere in the Conservative Blogosphere…

September 8, 2019

What do Benny Hinn, the Big Bang, and Joe Biden’s gun-grab have in common? Nothing, as far as I can tell, other than the prominence of the letter “B” and the fact that all three show up in this blogpost. Stick with me… Despite having gotten a good-sized post published on time last Sunday, the […]

Christ’s Temptations: Did Matthew or Luke Get the Order Wrong?

September 1, 2019

Having parallel accounts within the Bible for some events and incidents is great for biblical study purposes and for apologetics. The Synoptic Gospels (i.e., Matthew, Mark, Luke) are notable for this. But, they can also be a double-edged sword, so to speak, when certain details seem to be inconsistent between accounts.
